Re: Swedish October BAs feat. Ralf, Theus and a girl Maxon
in reply to a message by Felie
It was common about 100 years ago and has been rather popular again for a while. Thyra and Tyra are pronounced the same way (see Remora's post). It's almost like saying "tear ah" in English, but not exactly.
It's derived from the Norse god Tyr.
I don't like it at all. The reason is that my grandma lost her mother when she was young and then her father re-married a woman who was called Tyra and who was apparently a very bad person.
Sorry I can't tell you more about the name.Does the sea exist
Because of our longing?
